KAMDEM-OUAFFO v. LEBLON 2
Ricky Kamdem-Ouaffo filed suit in the federal district
court in New Jersey against attorneys and a state-court
judge involved in his prior unsuccessful trade secret case.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
affirmed the district court’s dismissal of his complaint and
denial of his request to amend the complaint. He now ap-
peals from the district court’s subsequent denial of his mo-
tions for relief from the judgment and recusal. In response
to this court’s show cause order, appellees Todd B. Buck
and Terry D. Johnson argue we lack jurisdiction, while Mr.
Kamdem-Ouaffo argues in support of our jurisdiction.
Generally, this court only has jurisdiction over an ap-
peal from a final district court decision in cases involving
the patent laws, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on
review to the district court from the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, see id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases in-
volving certain damages claims against the United States
not exceeding $10,000 in amount, id. §§ 1295(a)(2),
1346(a)(2). Mr. Kamdem-Ouaffo has failed to show that
this case falls within that limited review authority. We
therefore transfer pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
This matter and all case filings are transferred to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit pur-
suant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
